In Episode 222, we explore Luke 12:4-7 and Jesus' profound teaching on the two kinds of fear—and which one is actually worth having. Jesus addresses His disciples as "dear friends"—a tender opening before He says something that sounds hard: "Don't be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot do any more to you after that. But I'll tell you whom to fear. Fear God, who has the power to kill you and then throw you into hell. Yes, he's the one to fear." Through guided meditation, discover the two kinds of fear Jesus identifies. The first is the fear of people—fear of what they think, fear of what they might do, fear of rejection, ridicule, and loss. This is the fear that keeps us silent when we should speak, hidden when we should be seen, performing instead of living. It's the fear that gives other people control over our decisions, our words, and our lives. Jesus says: don't be afraid of them. They can harm your body—but that's the absolute limit of their power. They cannot touch what God holds. The second kind of fear is the fear of God. And here's where the passage takes a breathtaking turn—because Jesus immediately follows this call to fear God with the most tender and intimate image imaginable. Sparrows. Five of them sold for two copper coins—the cheapest possible transaction in the ancient marketplace. Essentially worthless by human standards. And yet God does not forget a single one. And then Jesus says something that should stop us completely: the very hairs on your head are all numbered. Not counted—numbered. God knows not just how many hairs you have. He knows each one individually. That is the level of attention, the level of care, the level of intimate personal knowledge that God has for you. This episode explores the profound truth that these two things belong together—the awesome power of God and His intimate, personal love for you. This is the God we're called to fear. Not a distant, indifferent power who rules from a cold distance. Not an angry judge waiting to catch you failing. But a Father who knows every hair on your head, never forgets a single sparrow, and calls you worth far more than a whole flock of them. Here's the truth about fear: when you truly fear God—when you understand how vast and powerful and loving He is—every other fear shrinks. The opinions of people lose their grip. The threats of the world lose their power. The disapproval of others loses its control. Because you realize that the One who holds everything is also the One who holds you. Fear of God doesn't paralyze. It liberates. Learn how to identify the specific fear that has been controlling your decisions, your words, and your life—and how to hold it up against the truth that you are known, numbered, and valued by the God of the universe. Discover what it means to take one step today that fear has been preventing. Experience the freedom that comes from replacing the fear of people with a deeper awe of the God who holds you.
Sound Healing with David Gibson Transforming Negative Beliefs Through Sound, Resonance, and Self-Love David Gibson explores how negative beliefs influence relationships, work, money, health, self-worth, and spiritual growth, then guides listeners through affirmations, vocal-toning practices, and embodied truths designed to replace limiting patterns with love, confidence, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of personal wholeness. Sound Healing Center Resources and Programs The episode opens with an overview of the Sound Healing Center and its related organizations, including Globe Institute, the Sound Healing Store, the Sound Therapy Center, and the Sound Healing Research Foundation. The introduction describes certificate programs, sound-healing instruments, vibroacoustic tools, research papers, treatment-plan resources, educational projects, and online information for listeners interested in sound therapy and related training. How Negative Beliefs Shape Everyday Life David Gibson identifies transforming negative beliefs as the central topic of the episode. He says limiting beliefs affect relationships, employment, income, health, self-image, and the ability to love oneself and others. He attributes these beliefs to sources such as mass consciousness, culture, religion, parents, education, advertising, and personal experiences, explaining that people often carry beliefs about not being intelligent, attractive, spiritual, emotional, successful, healthy, or worthy enough. Replacing Limiting Beliefs With Believable Truths Gibson teaches that a negative belief should be replaced with an affirmation the listener can believe completely, rather than with a statement that feels exaggerated or only partially true. For example, instead of claiming to be loving at all times, he suggests affirming, “My core essence is love.” He encourages listeners to speak or tone these truths aloud so they are felt physically and emotionally, not merely understood as intellectual ideas. Self-Worth, Appearance, Emotion, and Sensitivity The teaching addresses beliefs such as being unintelligent, undeserving, unattractive, too old, too emotional, insufficiently spiritual, overly critical, or too sensitive. Gibson reframes mistakes as part of human growth, the body as a vehicle for spirit, emotional awareness as something worthy of acceptance, and sensitivity as a strength that allows people to perceive subtle energy. Throughout the segment, he leads vocal-toning practices centered on intelligence, worthiness, physical acceptance, loving discernment, and the affirmation that sensitivity can be a superpower. Belonging, Relationships, Judgment, and Abundance Gibson also explores beliefs involving not fitting in, relationship difficulties, feeling unlovable, fearing other people's opinions, being invisible, lacking patience, and not deserving financial abundance. He encourages listeners to view relationships as opportunities for learning, recognize their own value without depending entirely on outside approval, and replace competition with collaboration. His discussion of wealth emphasizes caring for oneself first and allowing resources to move through a person in ways that may benefit others. Health, Self-Healing, and the Closing Self-Love Practice The final teaching section addresses beliefs about chronic health problems, aging, limited time, declining energy, and the perceived inability to heal oneself. Gibson encourages listeners to imagine themselves healthy, send sound toward areas of the body that need attention, and affirm that they are worthy of health, wealth, harmonious relationships, and other positive experiences. The episode concludes with a music segment combining “Loving Yourself” and “Overcoming Fear,” followed by an invitation to hug oneself, say “I love you” aloud, send that loving sound toward the heart, and continue carrying the practice forward. These healing statements reflect Gibson's views and should not be treated as medical advice or established scientific conclusions.

What if constantly trying to become your "best self" is actually making it harder to love the person you are right now?We're big believers in growth, healing, learning, therapy, and becoming more of who you want to be. But in this episode, we're asking a harder question: When does self-improvement stop supporting you and start becoming self-rejection?We talk about the endless hamster wheel of healing, self-help books, wellness advice, comparison, courses, experts, fitness goals, and the sneaky belief that happiness is waiting somewhere in the future."When I lose the weight...""When I heal this...""When my business reaches this level...""When I finally fix this part of myself..."But what happens to the version of you who's here right now?In this episode, we're talking about finding the middle ground between staying stuck and constantly treating yourself like a project that needs fixing. We unpack self-trust, personal mission statements, comparison, anxiety, listening to your own needs, and learning how to pursue growth without abandoning yourself in the process.We talk about:• Self-improvement vs. self-rejection• Why there's no finish line for healing• The "I'll be happy when..." trap• How comparison fuels self-abandonment• Knowing your WHY before chasing another goal• Why every expert doesn't have your answer• Trusting yourself again• Finding the healthy middle ground between growth and acceptance• Loving who you are while still wanting more for yourself

Read OnlineOvercoming Fear with Faith“Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to him in reply, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught Peter, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:27–31Fear always clouds our vision. Today's Gospel takes place the night after Jesus fed 5,000 on a mountain near the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee, using only five barley loaves and two fish. Afterward, He withdrew to pray alone and sent the disciples ahead of Him by boat, directing them toward the town of Gennesaret, just south of Capernaum. While great miracles occurred the next day in Gennesaret, something just as remarkable took place during the night's journey across the sea.The disciples found themselves rowing against a strong headwind, making the journey slow, arduous, and perilous This scene is a vivid image of our journey through life. Life is rarely “a bowl of cherries,” as the saying goes. It often feels laborious, filled with hardships, and some trials may seem never-ending. If life feels this way, today's Gospel is especially for you.During the fourth watch of the night, between 3 and 6 a.m., as the disciples continued struggling against the waves, they saw a figure walking on the sea, coming toward them. While we may be familiar with the idea of Jesus walking on water, for the disciples, this would have been an unimaginable and terrifying sight. They did not recognize Him—not because His appearance had changed, but because fear blinded them. This still happens in our lives. We can misinterpret suffering or divine silence as abandonment. But Jesus allowed their fear precisely so He could confront it directly: “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” In His divine wisdom, Jesus knew that countless disciples would read this story and ponder this moment until the end of time.What message is He giving us? The courage that comes from recognizing God in our midst allows us to conquer fear—especially in our moments of suffering, when the path ahead seems hard, dangerous, and without end.By a supernatural instinct, Peter utters the perfect prayer in this moment of uncertainty: “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you…” When we recognize God amid our trials, focus our gaze on Him, and pray this prayer, God will always answer, “Come.”Peter sets the pattern for this bold, trusting prayer, but he falters in remaining faithful to it. Yet even this is allowed by God, for our instruction. Making an act of courageous faith does not guarantee we will not stumble. Peter sank not because he lacked faith entirely, but because fear began to overwhelm his trust. And in this, Jesus teaches us another lesson: Even when our faith wavers, we must not give in to despair. Peter did not drown—he cried out once more, “Lord, save me!” and Jesus immediately reached out His hand.Despair is the true enemy of faith. Though fear and the growing force of the wind weakened Peter's faith, he remained hopeful even in his weakness. And it was this hope—however trembling—that moved Jesus to stretch out His divine hand and save him. Reflect today on any trial or suffering you endure that tempts you to fear. Confront that fear head-on. Rebuke it. Look for Jesus, who comes to you in the midst of the trial, walking on and through that very storm. Know that it is truly Him, drawing near. As you overcome fear, keep your eyes fixed on Him, not on the storm. This is what strengthens our faith and enables us to keep moving forward toward the goal: Jesus' hand of divine grace. My saving Lord, though You permit trials in our lives, You always offer the grace we need to endure them patiently and to overcome them with trust and hope in You. Help me, Lord, to always see You in my suffering and confusion. May I never give in to despair, but instead grow in faith as I walk toward You. Jesus, I trust in You.

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.What if the thing keeping you from finishing your novel is not a lack of talent, discipline, or ideas?What if it is fear about what happens after you finish?In this episode of The Resilient Writers Radio Show, I'm joined by debut novelist Mel West, author of Now Is Not a Good Time for a Breakdown, for an honest and deeply relatable conversation about creativity, mental health, publishing, and the fears that quietly shape our writing lives.Mel's novel began with snippets of dialogue and a character whose voice would not leave her alone. It was not until Mel moved to New York City that the story fully came into focus. Suddenly, she understood where this character lived, how she moved through the world, and what kind of life she was trying to survive.We talk about Mel's discovery-based approach to drafting and how she eventually turned to plotting when the story began to lose momentum. She also shares why the pandemic became an unexpected missing piece of the novel and how returning to the manuscript helped her finally understand where the story needed to go.One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is Mel's realization that fear was one of the biggest obstacles between her and a finished book. Not fear that she could not write it, but fear of what would come next once the novel was done.I think many writers will recognize themselves in that.We also explore how Mel used dark humour to write about the fragility of mental health without making the novel feel heavy-handed. Her main character is not especially self-aware, which allows humour, discomfort, and emotional truth to exist side by side. Mel even shares how The Sopranos influenced the way she thought about revealing a character's inner life.Mel is refreshingly open about her publishing journey too. After exploring traditional publishing, she chose a hybrid path with Archway Publishing. She talks candidly about what she wishes she had known, how emotionally vulnerable it can feel to hand over your “book baby,” and why writers need to approach publishing with both creativity and clear-eyed research.We also discuss author platforms, building community, and why TikTok has felt more natural and conversational for Mel than Instagram.This episode is especially valuable for writers who are close to finishing a book but feel themselves pulling back. Mel's advice is simple and important: learn what comes next, research your options, and pay attention to the fear underneath your resistance.Because sometimes finishing the book is not the scary part.Sometimes the scary part is becoming the writer who finished it.Listen now for an honest conversation about fear, mental health, publishing, creative courage, and what it really takes to follow a novel all the way through.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but is it making creativity better... or making everything look the same?In this episode, we're diving into the infamous "AI flyer" that seems to be taking over social media and why it's become a surprisingly emotional topic for artists, photographers, designers, and creative entrepreneurs.This isn't an anti-AI conversation. We use AI ourselves and believe it can be an incredible tool. But there's a difference between using technology to support creativity and replacing the human heart behind it.We explore why energy matters in art, why community is more valuable than convenience, and why the future of creativity depends on people continuing to create with intention.In this episode:• Why creatives are pushing back against AI-generated artwork• The difference between using AI as a tool vs. a replacement• Why photographs and artwork carry human energy• The importance of community over convenience• How creativity creates connection• Why originality still matters in businessIf you're an artist, entrepreneur, photographer, maker, designer, or simply someone who values human creativity, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

In Fishing Without Bait 526, we continue our conversation with Vic Costik of the New Rust Pittsburgh Podcast. In Part 2, Vic joins Jim Ellermeyer for a thoughtful discussion about identity, community, safety, recovery and the daily work of becoming a more compassionate person. Vic explains why they try to approach ignorance through “neutral inquiry,” beginning with questions rather than immediate confrontation. The conversation examines the experiences of transgender people navigating public spaces, the importance of listening to people when they tell us who they are and the need to create communities in which people feel welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Vic also discusses their commitment to Pittsburgh's LGBTQ+ community and the fear that has caused some transgender people to leave their homes in search of safer places. That concern helped inspire Vic's community involvement and ultimately contributed to the creation of New Rust Pittsburgh. Jim and Vic connect these ideas to the principles of 12-step recovery, including acceptance, accountability, making amends and changing both thoughts and actions. They consider the pain of perfectionism and the healing that can begin when we acknowledge our flaws, accept responsibility and reconstruct ourselves through what we have learned. The conversation then turns toward the overlooked side of Pittsburgh. Vic describes the artists, entrepreneurs, makers, small businesses and unusual creative communities that exist throughout the city. From strangers playing music together before the Fourth of July fireworks to the Andy Warhol Museum, neighborhood restaurants, local shops and nighttime bike rides across the Smithfield Street Bridge, Vic shares the memories that have made Pittsburgh feel like home. The episode closes with a discussion about authenticity, privilege, personal boundaries and relationships. Vic reflects on overcoming people-pleasing, cultivating relationships with people who provide encouragement and stepping away from relationships that repeatedly cause harm. Ultimately, New Rust Pittsburgh is more than a guide to interesting places. It is Vic's effort to create a love letter to Pittsburgh—one that embraces the city's people, creativity, weirdness and potential to become a more welcoming home for everyone.

The conversation examines the experiences of transgender people navigating public spaces, the importance of listening to people when they tell us who they are and the need to create communities in which people feel welcomed rather than merely tolerated. Vic also discusses their commitment to Pittsburgh's LGBTQ+ community and the fear that has caused some transgender people to leave their homes in search of safer places. That concern helped inspire Vic's community involvement and ultimately contributed to the creation of New Rust Pittsburgh. Jim and Vic connect these ideas to the principles of 12-step recovery, including acceptance, accountability, making amends and changing both thoughts and actions. They consider the pain of perfectionism and the healing that can begin when we acknowledge our flaws, accept responsibility and reconstruct ourselves through what we have learned. The conversation then turns toward the overlooked side of Pittsburgh. Vic describes the artists, entrepreneurs, makers, small businesses and unusual creative communities that exist throughout the city. From strangers playing music together before the Fourth of July fireworks to the Andy Warhol Museum, neighborhood restaurants, local shops and nighttime bike rides across the Smithfield Street Bridge, Vic shares the memories that have made Pittsburgh feel like home. The episode closes with a discussion about authenticity, privilege, personal boundaries and relationships. Vic reflects on overcoming people-pleasing, cultivating relationships with people who provide encouragement and stepping away from relationships that repeatedly cause harm. Ultimately, New Rust Pittsburgh is more than a guide to interesting places. It is Vic's effort to create a love letter to Pittsburgh—one that embraces the city's people, creativity, weirdness and potential to become a more welcoming home for everyone.

Sometimes the greatest obstacle isn't a lack of ability. It's the quiet belief that says, "Maybe I should stay in the background."In this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast, I welcome online presence strategist Becky Hancock for a conversation that moves beyond branding and into something much deeper. Together we explore why so many women hesitate to use their voice, how fear of visibility affects both our lives and our businesses, and why stepping into greater visibility isn't about self-promotion. It's about faithfully stewarding the vision and influence God has entrusted to us. Drawing from nearly thirty years of experience in branding, graphic design, and web development, Becky shares practical wisdom about building an authentic online presence that reflects who you truly are. Whether you're building a business, leading quietly behind the scenes, or sensing God inviting you into a new season, this conversation is a reminder that your voice matters.In this episode, we discuss:• Why women often struggle to be seen and heard• The personal and professional cost of staying hidden• Building confidence without striving or self-promotion• Creating an authentic brand that reflects your values• Why understanding the people you serve matters more than simply having a beautiful website• Building a business that creates space for both purpose and joyConnect with Becky HancockWebsite: https://beckyhancock.designfinLinkedIn: Rebecca HancockBook a Conversation: https://bookwithbecky.meConnect with Donna at https://www.ivibrantliving.com/

Our Reimagined Life: Empowering Me, You, and Us Seeking Happiness and Self Worth
Fear has a way of convincing us to wait until we feel more ready, more confident, or more certain. But what if the thoughts we repeat every day are quietly shaping the life we experience? In this short episode, I'm sharing 40 empowering affirmations to help us replace hesitation with courage, possibility, and trust. Whether you're starting a business, pursuing a dream, or simply stepping into a new season of life, these affirmations are designed to help you align with the person you're becoming. We'll also talk about why affirmations are more than positive thinking. They are intentional thoughts that can help rewire our subconscious mind, shift our energy, and strengthen our belief in what's possible. I'll share a simple way I like to use affirmations in everyday life and encourage you to choose the ones that resonate most deeply with you. I hope you'll save this episode and come back to it whenever you need a reminder of who you are and what's possible. Repetition creates familiarity, and familiar thoughts have the power to become lasting beliefs. "The thoughts we practice become the beliefs we live by, and the beliefs we live by shape the life we create."

How much of your life is on hold? How many times have you told yourself: "When I have more time..." "When I feel more confident..." "When I'm less busy..." "When I know exactly what to do..." "When I'm fully healed..." For many of us, waiting becomes a way of life. We wait for permission. We wait for certainty. We wait for fear to disappear. We wait for someone else to choose us before we choose ourselves. But what if the life you're longing for isn't waiting for perfect conditions? What if it's waiting for you? In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're exploring the hidden ways we delay our own growth, happiness, and fulfillment while convincing ourselves we're simply being responsible or realistic. We talk about: waiting for the perfect time waiting for confidence before taking action the myth of being "fully healed" fear disguised as preparation choosing yourself even when you don't feel ready personal responsibility and co-creation why small steps create momentum the power of taking action before certainty arrives At some point, the question isn't whether you're ready. The question is whether you're willing. Because the future you're waiting for may require a decision that can only be made in this moment. New episodes of Cacao Conversations drop weekly. Sip.

Country music legend Willie Nelson has publicly called on Americans, especially those in rural communities, to oppose the rapid expansion of data centers, arguing that they threaten farmland, water resources, and the character of small towns. 11-year-old Ashton Meyer, who transformed a basic neighborhood chore into a thriving business. Despite initial fears of rejection, he built a growing customer base, gained more than 100,000 social media followers, and became an example of young entrepreneurship through persistence, hard work, and a willingness to knock on doors and ask for business. CNBC reports that James Comey is seeking dismissal of the criminal case over his “8647” seashells post and is accusing the Secret Service of illegally surveilling him during the investigation. His lawyers argue that agents tracked him without proper legal authority and that the entire prosecution is politically motivated, while prosecutors continue to maintain that the post constituted a threat against President Trump.

What if the Bible isn't just a book to study, but a love story inviting you into a deeper relationship with God? In episode five of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with beloved Bible teacher and longtime friend Lisa Harper for an honest and hope-filled conversation about knowing the God of the Bible—not just knowing about Him. Lisa shares how God has patiently pursued her through seasons of doubt, disappointment, fear, failure, and loss, teaching her that true freedom isn't found in performing, pretending, or presenting a polished version of ourselves. It's found in believing that we are already fully loved by Jesus. Together, Shelley and Lisa talk about the difference between religion and relationship, the importance of knowing Scripture for ourselves, and how theology isn't just a subject to study. It's a conversation with a God who desires to be known. From Lisa's journey into public ministry to the story of adopting her daughter Missy, she shares how God redeems what feels irreparable and meets us with His kindness in the places we feel most broken. If you've ever felt like you have to clean yourself up before coming to God, this conversation is a reminder: Jesus is not a scowling Savior waiting for you to get it right. He is a loving Father inviting you closer. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

You've felt it! That nudge. That whisper. The thing God keeps bringing back to your heart about starting something, building something, stepping into something bigger. And somehow you keep finding reasons to wait. Friend, so did Esther. In this episode we're pulling apart the story of Esther and uncovering the business lessons she didn't even know she was teaching. Because the same God who positioned an ordinary Jewish orphan girl in a palace for the most critical moment of her people's history? He positioned YOU. On purpose. For this season. For such a time as this. You'll discover why your hiding isn't really about strategy or timing or readiness — it's a fear problem dressed up in productivity clothes. You'll walk through the Esther Framework; three moves she made that translate directly into your calling, your business, and your next step. And you'll get a word-for-word prayer to help you finally stop circling the door and walk through it. God doesn't need your perfection. He needs your obedience. Esther didn't have a guarantee. She didn't feel ready. She just walked through the door and the king held out the scepter and welcomed her. He will welcome you too! I pray this episode lands deep in your spirit today and that it's the thing that finally moves you from the hallway into the room God prepared for you. Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast?

Episode Summary Judson and Janna Shoultz recount how a group of teenagers faced their fears and shared the gospel in mosques and other places of worship during a missions trip to Muslim communities in Michigan. Connecting their experiences with Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4, they show that God often waits for His people to obey before He opens the way. This Faith Talks episode challenges young people to recognize the specific step God has put before them and to trust Him enough to take it. Topics Discussed Israel's crossing of the flooded Jordan River in Joshua 3–4 Teenagers sharing the gospel in mosques in Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan Developing a genuine burden for Muslims, Hindus, and others without the gospel Bringing the Bible into difficult gospel conversations The influence of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in a new believer's life Everyday steps of faith in witnessing, giving, prayer, and Christian obedience Key Takeaways Faith acts on God's direction before the circumstances change. God can use teenagers to speak biblical truth with courage, compassion, and clarity. Seeing spiritual darkness firsthand can deepen a believer's burden for lost people. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit equip believers for conversations that feel beyond them. A first step of obedience can become a defining moment that makes future steps easier. Faith does not merely talk about trusting God; faith walks into the water. If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

The Journey to Becoming | Self Improvement, Productivity, Lower Stress
What if the biggest thing standing between you and your calling isn't a lack of ability—but waiting until you feel ready? In this episode of The Journey to Becoming Podcast, we're talking about the power of pre-deciding that you'll continue to show up, use your God-given gifts, and stay faithful—even when fear, insecurity, or excuses try to hold you back. Using 2 Timothy 1:6-7, we unpack Paul's encouragement to Timothy to "fan into flame" the gift God had placed within him and explore why Timothy was able to receive that correction. Because he had a mentor. He had accountability. He had someone who loved him enough to speak to his fears and call him up, not out. In this episode, you'll learn: What it means to "fan into flame" your spiritual gifts. Why you can't trust your feelings to determine your faithfulness. The importance of discipleship and accountability in your spiritual growth. How to pre-decide to show up before excuses have a chance to win. Why God has given you a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline—not fear. If you've been shrinking back, doubting yourself, or waiting until you feel more confident, this episode is the reminder you need: Your calling doesn't pause because your feelings fluctuate. It's time to fan the flame, silence the excuses, and become the woman God created you to be.
